Singapore set for 4G auction

The Singaporean regulator revealed plans to auction 4G spectrum this year, stating that this will “allow mobile operators to provide more innovative services with data transfer rates that would potentially be several times faster than existing 3G data plans”.

The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said that it will sell-off 270MHz of spectrum in the middle of 2013, with 150MHz in the 1800MHz band and 120MHz in the 2.5GHz band.
